Hi, I currently use InDesign to work with complex Tibetan language documents. InDesign handles these unicode languages (formed of stacks of letters, like so: རྟུ) via their 'World-Ready Paragraph or Line editor facility. Is there a way facility for typesetting these kind of languages in Publisher? When I try I get collapses on certain characters. I haven't yet found a unicode character palette.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

Welcome to the forums :)

As far as I'm aware there is no way to do this in Affinity Publisher.

Thanks

Callum

Shame that these languages are not supported. I hope its something that will be worked on in the future. There's a big market out there that used Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan etc.,

Affinity is Latin-centric software for now.
There is no clear plan for non-Latin support implementation, sadly,
I too am waiting for Chinese/Japanese support for a long time.

Please continue to develop Affinity Publisher's non Latin-based language compatibility. Although Sanskrit is supported, TIBETAN [UNICODE] is not. I attached an image as an example [in red] of the errant rendering of the Tibetan.

Casting another vote for the "World-Ready Composer" feature. I work with Tibetan and we would love to be able to abandon Adobe for Serif. Alas, lack of the ability to properly work with Tibetan is a deal breaker for us. :(   Please implement!!

Warm Regards

Hello everybody 

Today i have buyed the Affinity Publisher in the hope to escape Adobe InDesign and the Adobe Cloud. I am working in special with tibetan language and in Adobe InDesign there ist a tool called Adobe World Ready Composer. Is there a possibility in Publisher to use such a tool? Has someone of you any ideas to this problem? Tibetan has much stacks of letters, sometimes three or four or five! Can somebody help me?

Thank you, Kelsang
